Steve you are absolutely  right !

Scanner is CCD sensor WITHOUT Bayer Filter

Scan by digital camera WITH BF with color denaturation

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

A month or so I posted an iPhone image from about 1:30am from Dumbo in Brooklyn.  I had a vision of capturing this iconic scene with my 6x17 camera during the Hanukkah week in which the Empire State Building was illuminated like a candle, with colors that are complimentary to the surrounding buildings in the scene.  I went in the middle of the week to minimize the chance of coming across other human beings and moving cars.  But not too late because the ESB lights turn off at 2am every day.

I observed that the bottom half of the scene was significantly brighter than the top half and that if I was to have any chance of capturing details in the top part of the bridge I should use an ND grad filter.   So I threw on a 3 stop medium ND grad and did my best to take an average exposure reading (taking into account the effect of the ND grad).

The exposure time was over 6 minutes.  I was completely blown away by the detail in the top part of the scene that I couldn't even see with my naked eye, including - if you look closely - streak of stars running across the sky 😲.   It typically is so hard to see ANY stars over Manhattan given the amount of luminance from the buildings.  But the night sky was SO crystal clear and dark that I guess the stars were ripe for visibility.  

I probably could clone out the stars and am interested in thoughts regarding whether they should stay.  They look kind of odd :) but in that way also authentic (?) 

There were some straggling humans walking their dogs that passed by.  Even a car or two.  But the 6+ minute exposure washed them all away :)

The bottom line - Ektar is my hero 😍

...Eoin! Great to see you pop in (says I, who was also out for a long time). Looking forward to the PP pictures. Best wishes for 2019...

Thanks, Philip! Happy New Year to you, too. Our combined disappearing acts could earn us a magician placing at Vegas...

Really a very impressive photo Adam!  It is so three-dimensional with lucent colors. Since there are no people at all on the streets it almost looks like a scenery in a Film Studio. Concerning the stars it depends on your attitude: a hard core film Enthusiast would never ever clone them out. But on the other hand I would like to see it in a cloned version. I think without the stars you are aware of more details on the photo and you are not deviated by the bright stars.

Hi H - from memory I think it is was junkyard cheap Fuji Superia - I used to buy it by 'the brick at about $2 a roll of 24...and whack it into my Xpan and MP ( the real film MP ) combination when I was shooting film a lot - scanned on a cheap Epson something or other flatbed years ago. Love film - but hate the hassle and expense and lack of development choices these days - but occasionally get the itch and shoot a few rolls of B&W I develop myself.

 

Cheers

Pete

Thanks Pete.

The color is nice like that and looks like Cinestill  ...   sure if you have a good scan like Nikon Coolscan or Epson V700-800

the definition will be better but  I prefer the version posted .

I have a V600 that I still use for 120mm. For 35mm I switched to digital camera scanning; I used my Fuji X-T10 (16 megapixel, non-bayer) for a while and then I switched to a cheap used Sony A5100 just to have 24 megapixel. On my opinion, the Sony is easier to use because the magnification is higher and I can focus better. Also the Sony can shoot at 100 iso while the Fuji is limited to 200. The lens is an enlarger lens. I have ordered a used macro lens (Nikkor 55/3.5)  to see if I can use this set-up for 120mm as well. 

I consider the results to be much better than what I was getting from the V600. I know there are better dedicated film scanners, but this workflow works pretty well for me. At the end I'm just an hobbyst.

Film scanners vs digital camers is usually a hot argument in the forum. Everything I said is based on my personal and limited experience! 😀

This photo is from a series from some of my crazy, extreme photo adventures I  had photographing Mountains "Alpinists " and rock climbers. This is Alpes mountain range which is called   "Le Massive du Mont Blanc", Haût Savoir region  In France.  And this place is a White valley ( La Vallee Blanche - Chamonix ) the most beautiful region You must visit. I was very brave enough to carry my Medium format two lenses/ meters/ and a Canon EOS and a 50mm, a lot of films No tripod/ It is crazy when I think about it now. I get arthritis now.🙄  also, this photo has gone a long way and published several times and won some places in the photo publish and open the opportunity to show my motivation and enthusiasm. I am glad to share my commitment to analog photography here as we all share the same passion and unique mindset in this classic photo aspect. Enjoy the negative Photography. It is not dead at all.😀  Photo was taken during 1998- 1999 as I worked two years when I did this project.       Blad / 150mm Sonnar/ tri-x Home developed / Scanned on Imacon Blad scanner.
